I would like to increase the performance of my laptop, I would change the hd SSD 128g with a larger one, I would replace the traditional HD with a SSD, and I would also like to increase the RAM from 16g to 32g.I can do it?How can I do it?

I was recently given 2 AIO computers from a local charity group to try and repair that both have the same problem. They seem to start but the screen remains black on both no cursor or anything. I will list what I have done and this will be on both of them.Replaced ram with known good ones.Removed the CMOS battery for 15 minCleared BIOS with jumper (battery in)Tried tapping F10 for 8 seconds then arrow down twice and hit Enter twice.A hard reset unplugged and held in power button for a couple minutes I see an HDMI port on both but I believe this is an input port?? I have read about reflashing the BIOS on a 23-d010ea and was wonder if this is what might be needed??That article is here CLICK HERE toward the bottom of the page.Any help is apreciated!!

Hi, I am Istiak from Bangaldesh. I am using HP ENVY 15-j139tx. My sister brought new HP ENVY x360 15-aq160sa from UK for me. In new HP ENVY x360 15-aq160sa there is no extra graphics card but in my HP ENVY 15-j139tx there is extra graphics card of NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M. Now can I remove graphics card from HP ENVY 15-j139tx and add that to HP ENVY x360 15-aq160sa? Is it possible? Or ENVY x360 15-aq160sa supports extra graphics card that I can add? If yes please let me know that model of graphics card that I can add.

The right hinge on my Envy 17 Touch Screen has failed, causing the case to become separated and the lid to be nearly impossible to close. This is the second Envy 17 to fail in this way. About a year ago my husband's broke and HP spent nearly three months attempting to repair it before finally just shipping him a new one. This appears to be a flaw in the construction of the hinge assembly, and we have noticed that the newer models, such as my husband's replacement, have a much improved design in comparison. We spent about $1,300 on this computer (it has an i7 Core and 16 GB of RAM) and hoped it would hold up for a while. The laptop was great, but now it has become difficult to use without fear of causing further damage. Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi, You should have enough room inside your PC but you should do some measuring just in case. Review this posted document. Review these HP how-to articles. HP Secure Boot Windows 8 Topics Computer Does not Start After Installing a Video Card (Windows 8)

Im planning to buy a HP Envy 13 to use for school, since this notebook is lightweight and thin and the battery life (from what I've read) is decent. I've noticed that there are 2 HP ENVYs available, both with the same specs, both with the same price ( ENVY 13-d120nd and ENVY 13-d010nd). I wondered what the differences are between them. So I hoped you guys from the forum could help me with this. And if any of you got any suggestions for other HP notebooks in the same priceclass with a good (maybe better) battery life to use for school, feel free to suggest Thanks in advance!

Recently noticed the notebook wasn't aligned to my desk. Thought the feet on the bottom were uneven. They're fine. The notebook seems to have a "bubble" on the keyboard where it's higher than the rest of the keyboard. Obviously it's impacting the entire notebook since it's no longer sitting level. I'm concerned it's going to impact the performance of the keyboard and the fact that it's not even and "rocks" when I'm typing is driving me crazy. Can someone please direct me on how this can be repaired. It was purchased new in 2013.

The HP Envy 17t (2015 model) is no longer for sale at the HP Store so I am thinking of purchasing the HP Envy M7 n109dx from Best buy but I am noticing that there are some differences between that model and the one that originally was selling in the HP Store. I have noticed the following about the Envy M7 vs the Envy 17t Weaker Processor- The Envy 17t had a Quad Core i7 6700 HQ vs the Dual Core i7 6500U on the M7Weaker Graphics Card- The Envy 17t touch had a Nvidia GeForce 950 GTX vs a 940 GT on the M7No fingerprint reader on the M7 like on the Envy 17Some websites mention that the M7 only has dual speakers and not quad speakers and a subwoofer like the 17t. Is there other features that the M7 is missing in comparison to the Envy 17t Touch? Bonus: Would I be able to upgrade it to have two HDD's in the future using a hard drive Caddy like in the Envy 17t or not.

Hi, I connected HP ENVY TouchSmart 17" with HP ENVY 34c Monitor over HDMIand resolution on Monitor is 3440x1440 @30HZ is it posible to get it at 60HZ somehow? I tried to connest with HDMI > DP cable but then there is no signal My Laptop has onli HDMI output thanksA

hello,I want to install an ssd and use it as my primary OS partition. I want to keep the original 1 TB 5600RPM drive and install a smaller ssd on the M.2 pot which I believe is present. I want some advice if it is present, and is it PCIE or SATA ?

A:M.2 SSD for HP Envy Hp Envy 15 j048tx

Hi, Well, it is your believe. And yes, it does have M.2 SATA slot and currently holds 24GB for Intel Smart Response Technology. You have to disable this before you can work on it and this may not work at all. Please read the following article for more info before go further http://www.techforanyone.com/fix-inaccessible-smart-response-technology-cache/ Regards.

Laptop won't start. Black screen, then says "Reparing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete" After an hour it looks to be starting but a blue screen flashes briefly with a frown and a message saying "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info then we'll restart for you." It then goes back to the black screen saying it's repairing disc errors. Been through that three times and nothing else has happened.

2(two) little black wires from mother board hanging in the inside of the computer ,i am just curious if they were grounds to the mother board very skinny wires looks like solder on the 2 ends hate to send computer back because of two little wires but want to make sure there not of importance

Hi: Take a close look at the ends or where the wires originate from. I'm thinking they are spare antenna leads for an optional wireless network adapter.

I got this notebook a couple of days ago and it gets really hot doing normal activities like browsing the internet or using Word.I ran a hardware diagnostics test and nothing came up in the results.So is there anything that can be done to fix this problem?

I just got my HP Envy in mid September, and it's just an awful computer. Slow to start, slow to run, the screen is buggy, and it is constantly loading, almost like it never finishes starting up. The first couple of times I used it it shut off due to some file error (which I unfortunately didn't write down the exact error). Tried to return it, I missed the 15 day mark at Best Buy. SO my question - is this an issue anyone else has had? I don't even know what board to put this on because I have no idea if it's hardware or software. Just hoping someone's had a similar issue and knows a fix or can suggest what testing method I should use (while browsing the support options it looked like there were a couple of different ones). I bought this so I could avoid driving to the school computer lab every time I have homework, but that's exactly what I've been doing because this computer is such a hassle. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I purchased my HP Envy laptop a little over two years ago (6/28/2014), and maybe 6 months into my ownership the right hinge began to be problematic. It wasn't a huge issue, I would push it and it would click right back in, but now the issue has become extremely out of hand. Both hinges malfunction now, screws are missing, and the black plastic bottom detatches a considerable amount every time I open the laptop, and makes cringe-worthy sounds whenever I open and close the machine. Reading through other people experiencing this issue, I'm extremely disheartened that HP didn't issue a recall on this product, or make an effort to reach out to users to let them know a solution. My hopes in this contact is to hear back from an HP rep in hopes of some repair with little or no cost to me. The machine has never been dropped or mishandled, and works very well aside from this important functional issue (the opening and closing of the product). Hope to hear back from someone soon. Thank you.

Hey, first post! Ok, so I have a mac user that I take care of, and he was wondering about mouse over techniques. For example, in OS X when you want to move a file to another folder from your desktop, you can drag the file, mouse over your drive and it opens the window. Now I think this is a neat little tool as well, so my question is: Can I enable such a mouse-over feature in Xp? If not, oh well, no loss. So if anyone has clues or suggestions I would greatly appreciate, Josh

Hi rockman,Yes this hard drive will work with your system and will have more performance than a regular mechanical drive. If it is the only drive in system you will need to reinstal OS. Hope it helps,David

My new computer came a month ago, I put Avast Anti-virus on it, tweeked chrome to stop pop ups as I always have. But I have a never ending sream of ads like never before. The suggestion from 2014, (it's 8/16 now), for Techwalla doesn't work and I'm not sure if malwarebytes is another antivirus program that requires me to remove Avast. How can I stop these pestering ads?

Hi, I have a HP Envy 13 laptop (purchased from Challenger in March 2016).After I set it to sleep mode, I closed the lid and went for dinner.I returned after 2 hours and was shocked to find that I am NOT able to wake or start my laptop!!!i tried press and holding the power button for beyond 20 sec, with and without plugging in power source. The power light came on for about 5sec and disappeared. Till now, after 24 hours, I am still NOT able to wake or start the laptop. There is no other device connected to my standalone laptop. I tried calling the HP hotline, put on hold for 20 min without getting any assistance.Please help!

Hello everyone!I have my HP envy 17 (k250ca) laptop with windows 8.1 on it. And the thing is that I want to install windows 7 on it, bit I'm not sure is my laptop capable for this operating system. Does someone know information related to this issue?

Hi: HP does have W7 drivers for that model on the support page. http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-17-k200-Notebook-PC-series/7527536/model/780... Be sure to make your recovery disk set before attempting to install W7 in case it doesn't work right, or you want to revert to the original operating system that came with the PC.

I have had to replace the cover, Lid, top whatever it is called 3 times. It cracks at the right hinge. So careful but it just cracks. Can anyone help me afford this problem. This laptop is handled very carefully.

HI all, just recently, my HP Envy j125tx's fan on the left side vent became very loud and that area is very hot. Despite ising a cooler, it still remains pretty hot.It just happened recently but in the past, it has been very cool and quiet. I do not use this laptop for gaming. It just happened recently but in the past, it was very cool and quiet. I do not use this laptop for gaming. I do not use this laptop for gaming, just for school usage. This laptop is more than 2 years old. But the laptop seems to be working fine perfectly. What should I do? Call HP support and get them to diagnose it? My laptop is still under warranty.

I've purchased the HP envy 13 about a month ago. Is it normal for the laptop to get really hot to the point it burns your hand to touch? The laptop seems to get really hot after 10 minutes of turning it on and it has been like this since the 1st day I got it. The hottest part of the laptop would be the space above the the centre of the key board (under the hp logo) and the top 2 rows of the buttons get really hot too. I can also feel underneath the laptop is really hot aswell. Please can someone help as I'm not sure if this is an issue. The fans are really loud even when theres nothing covering the air vent.

I have just bought a Envy 17T-BTO. It has an I7-6700 CPU, 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX950M graphics card so you would think it would be quite a powerhouse. However it is deadly slow. With nothing installed on it yet, i.e. factory clean Windows 10 (64 Bit) it takes about 1 minute from pushing the power button before you see any activity, then it says 'please wait" with the swirling dots for another minute. Then the screen goes blank for another minute, then the "please wait" blue screen with swirling dots for another minutes, then finally the backdrop screen. Then when I go to log in I get the swirling dots for another minute before the dektop appears, and then it is busy loading just the taskbar icon shortcuts for amazon and trip advisor which takes another 30 seconds or so.5 minutes 30 seconds to do a restart in Windows 10. My old desktop restarts into Windows 10 in about 20 seconds. What is up with my brand new laptop? Is it the deadly slow 5400 RPM 1TB drive? Help please

A:envy 17T-BTO

Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. Considering the processor and the RAM, a 5400 RPM HDD is somewhat slow. For super speedy machine, it deserves an SSD But still, 5 minutes is too much, so I guess there is something more. Most probably software issue, some 3rd party program. Just to be on the safe side, first test it for hardware issues.Start your computer again by using the power-on button andas soon as you do it, keep hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap) - you will enter HP boot menu like this: Choose/press F2 and follow the on-screen instructions to perform System test >>> QUICK test. More information can be found here>> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03467259>> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03467259#AbT1 It should check these components: Battery check Processor check System board check Hard drive SMART check Hard drive short DST check Memory quick check Hopefully (and most probably) tests will pass.

Hello!my computer desktop screen turn all black. There is power but I dont see any thing. I turn on and off hoping it will reboot but still screen still black. is there a problem with the computer? do i need to bring this to the shop? or does it mean need to buy another computer? need help.

I have had 2 previous laptops in the 17t series before this one. All of them has BluRay drives.

So I purchased the 2017 model assumign it would too, but it appears it is only a DVD drive.

I am sure that in the previous models, the Device Manager in Windows showed the drive had a "BD" in its name.

Now it just says DVD.

I am just wnating to confirm if it or not.

HP ENVY Notebook 17t-u000 CTOModel #:Y0F94AVSerial #removed content)

This is my laptop details. Please confirm if it was suppose to be BluRay, because I purchased item from an Authorized Reseller, who made changes to this laptop orginal hardware specs. For example, HP had the laptoplisted as 256GB SSD and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, but the seller put in a 512GB SSD and 32GB of RAM for just a little more.

Also if this doesnt have a BluRay Drive, then where can I get one for this model? Thanks

I have 3 HP Envys and the hinge that connects the left part of the monitor to the bottom near the power button is starting to detatch because the screw came out.
